As the August 31 deadline approaches for the US to get out of Taliban-held Afghanistan, one Afghan official in exile says the pullout could have been "better managed and thought through." For Ajmal Ahmady, the former central bank chief who went viral for his Twitter thread about the country's finances, the withdrawal may have been a strategic choice for America — but the hasty way it was implemented teed up the collapse of the government he was once a part of. Watch Ahmady's interview on an upcoming special episode of GZERO World.
